How dare they steal the breath for a faithful man

Polling shows Zelensky trailing rivals, mired in corruption woes, and stalling peace talks—his halo fading fast at home and abroad. You won’t hear this from the mainstream press, but you’ll hear it here first: Volodymyr Zelensky, the Western media’s darling, is in real political trouble at home. I just commissioned credible polling from inside Ukraine. The war-weary population there wants a new president and a negotiated peace. This reality makes Zelensky less a heroic statesman and more a vulnerable incumbent with a perverse incentive: to keep slow-walking peace, continue milking Western taxpayers, and delay the elections he’s almost certain to...

Embattled New York Attorney General Letitia James better mend fences — or pay up. James is set to appear before an administrative law judge Oct. 8, where she faces up to $500 in fines for having a 5-foot, 6-inch high fence in front of her multi-family home in the Clinton Hill Historic District. The brownstone is the focus of a federal mortgage fraud investigation. The city Buildings Department slapped the far-left pol with the summons July 23 after fielding at least three anonymous complaints since April which claimed the black iron fence exceeded the 4-foot height limit, records show. New...

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) has gained widespread attention for his remarks on the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The Republican has called the violent incident on the campus of Utah Valley University “an attack not just on an individual but on democratic principles.”Cox also gained traction after telling reporters he was “praying” Kirk’s alleged shooter would be from out-of-state or not a U.S. citizen. “For 33 hours, I was praying that if this had to happen here, that it wouldn’t be one of us — that somebody drove from another state, somebody came from another country… Sadly,...

President Trump needs to return America to its original and authentic conservative economic policy: the American System of protective tariffs. President Ronald Reagan built the most successful political coalition in modern American history. His juggernaut—an alliance of social conservatives, neoconservatives, and economic liberals—routed the Democrats. Reagan won over 90 percent of the electoral college in 1980, and a staggering 97 percent in 1984. Capital-R Republicans have smugly celebrated this triumph ever since. In fact, Reagan’s Coalition was so successful that uniting these disparate interests became Republican doctrine. Any who dared question this political logic—or perhaps, as Patrick Buchanan correctly pointed...

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination a nation has awakened. 11 m 29 s

Well before the march started, thousands of people flowed over Blackfriars bridge, or came up from Waterloo station, flags everywhere, hailing from everywhere - from Yorkshire roses to the diamond of the Isle of Wight. What exactly it was that "United the Kingdom" was left vague, for people to cheer their own particular cause. This was billed as a free speech rally and the most common chants we heard were "Keir Starmer's a *******", "oh Tommy Tommy" and "we want our country back". That means different things to different people. Dawn, up from Southampton and wearing a red sequined jacket,...

Elon Musk has now appeared via video at the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march led by Tommy Robinson, telling the crowd that ‘the left are the party of murder’ in a reference to the killing of Charlie Kirk. The X owner said that there was something ‘beautiful’ about being British, adding: ‘There is so much violence on the left, with our friend Kirk getting murdered in cold blood this week and people on the left celebrating it openly. ‘The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder. I mean, let that sink in for a minute, that’s who we’re dealing...

Meet Lexi Kuenzle. She’s one of the good ones. Yesterday, in front of a nurses station — with 8 (eight) nurses & a PATIENT — Dr. Matthew Jung said in front of everyone, “I hate Charlie Kirk. He had it coming. He deserved it.” Lexi, a registered nurse, was the ONLY one that spoke up: “You’re a doctor. How could you say someone deserved to die.” Lexi said you could hear a pin drop & no one said anything, including the patient. She reported the incident to management & — after she got home — posted about it & Dr....

Free Government is that happy condition wherein government respects and protects the unalienable, Natural Rights of the nation, and makes no law without its consent. Our Bill of Rights actually grants nothing, but rather serves to recognize God-given individual and societal rights. But rights don’t defend themselves. James Madison famously regarded Bills of Rights as mere “parchment barriers” easily breached by ambitious men. To keep them in force requires institutions designed for their defense, and an active citizenry covetous of liberty. So, how many are actually respected and protected by government? How near or distant is free government? I posit...

State Representative Adam Mathews has called for the immediate resignation of Judge Ted Berry following controversial social media comments regarding the death of Charlie Kirk. According to Mathews, the statements, which included racially charged and politically divisive language, have been deemed a serious breach of ethical standards for judges in Ohio. Some of the comments Judge Berry allegedly made included "Rest in Hatred & Division," "How's he feel about gun violence & gun control in Hell now," as well as a remark celebrating the race of the killer, saying, "So, a white guy killed him! Color it KARMA!" Mathews described...

Fascism, as an ideology and system of governance, has no single universal definition. Scholars generally describe it authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy. Historical examples, primarily from Mussolini's Italy (1922–1945) and Nazi Germany (1933–1945), illustrate its core traits, though variations exist across regimes. 2 sources Below, I address each question based on these examples and scholarly analyses.Does the leader take away guns? Fascist leaders typically implemented strict gun control to disarm potential opponents and consolidate power, though enforcement varied and often favored regime loyalists. In Mussolini's Italy, the...
